Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of radio communications, and more particularly, to a method and a system for processing a transmission gap pattern sequence.

BACKGROUND

With the continuous evolution of radio communication network technology, from the second generation of Global System for Mobile (GSM) to the third generation of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, and then to the third generation of Enhanced Universal Radio Access (E-UTRA) system, the network deployment of operators has to have multiple modes of systems coexisted according to user requirements. At present, the common radio network functions of the operator are set to be: the second generation of GSM system is mainly used to bear voices; the third generation of WCDMA system is mainly used to bear packet domain services, session services and video services; and the third generation of E-UTRAN system is mainly used to bear high-speed packet domain services.
Therefore, for the present network deployment, the mobility between the second generation of GSM system and the third generation of WCDMA system is very important. In addition, the mobility management of the third generation of E-UTRA system, for example, handover to hot areas of the E-UTRA system, would become important in the near future. Moreover, inter-frequency handover based on load balance between each layer of carrier frequency is also necessary in a multi-carrier frequency network.
The handover processes caused by the inter-system mobility management mentioned above and by the load balance between each layer of carrier frequency all need to perform measurements on a target system and a target carrier frequency in a predetermined handover preparation phase, so as to execute a handover policy accurately.
Compressed mode plays a very important role in the inter-carrier frequency measurement and the inter-system measurement. When applying a compressed mode, a terminal can measure the carrier frequency not in service and the carrier frequency of other systems, without configuring double receivers. When a terminal, which is configured with only one receiver, moves from the third generation of WCDMA system to an area which is covered by the second generation of GSM system only, the terminal can only adopt the compressed mode to perform the inter-system measurement. Similarly, the compressed mode also can be used for the terminal to enter into/exit from a multi-carrier frequency coverage area of the third generation of WCDMA system. In the compressed mode, a terminal can measure another carrier frequency not in service without losing any data transmitted on the serving carrier frequency.
The compressed mode is defined as a transmission mode, through which data transmission is compressed to generate a transmission gap in time domain. The receiver of the terminal can switch to another carrier frequency to perform a measurement within this transmission gap.
The transmission gap is described and determined by a transmission gap pattern sequence. Each set of transmission gap pattern sequence is uniquely identified by a transmission gap pattern sequence identifier and can only be used for one transmission gap pattern sequence measurement purpose, which is one of following measurement purposes: Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) measurement, Time Division Duplex (TDD) measurement, GSM Carrier Received Signal Strength Indication measurement, GSM Initial Base Station Identity Code Identification, GSM Base Station Identity Code Identification Reconfirmation, multi-carrier frequency measurement, E-UTRA measurement and the like.
Each set of transmission gap pattern sequence, as shown in Fig. 1, includes two alternate patterns, which are transmission gap pattern 1 and transmission gap pattern 2. Each transmission gap pattern provides one or two transmission gaps in one transmission gap pattern length. In addition, each set of transmission gap pattern sequence further includes a transmission gap Connection Frame Number (CFN) for indicating the time of initiating/stopping the compressed mode, repeat times of the transmission gap pattern sequence, etc. These parameters are determined according to the transmission gap pattern sequence measurement purpose.
Each transmission gap pattern sequence measurement purpose needs one set of transmission gap pattern sequence, so when multiple measurements are performed simultaneously, for example, when the GSM Carrier Received Signal Strength Indication measurement and the GSM Initial Base Station Identity Code Identification are performed simultaneously, two sets of transmission gap pattern sequences might be performed in parallel. In this condition, it is necessary to guarantee that the two sets of transmission gap pattern sequences are not overlapped, or, transmission gaps described and determined by each set of transmission gap pattern sequence are not located in one same radio frame. Otherwise, the terminal cannot perform related measurements of the overlapped transmission gap pattern sequence.
In the prior art, the initiation and stop of the compressed mode are controlled by a Radio Network Controller (RNC). A terminal reports to the RNC the quality of the radio signal of a current serving cell/carrier frequency (if the quality of the radio signal of the current serving cell/carrier frequency is lower than a certain threshold). The RNC determines whether to perform an inter-carrier frequency/inter-system measurement (if the quality of the radio signal of the current serving cell is poor, it might be needed to prepare for the handover to an inter-carrier frequency/inter-system adjacent cell). If it is needed to perform the inter-carrier frequency/inter-system measurement, the RNC notifies a Node B and the terminal of the initiated transmission gap pattern sequence. Then the Node B does not transmit data within each transmission gap described and determined by the transmission gap pattern sequence, and the terminal does not receive data within each transmission gap described and determined by the transmission gap pattern sequence but performs the inter-carrier frequency/inter-system measurement for the transmission gap pattern sequence measurement purpose. After obtaining the measurement result of the inter-carrier frequency/inter-system measurement performed by the terminal, the RNC can decide to stop the transmission gap pattern sequence and notifies the Node B and the terminal. Subsequently, the Node B and the terminal exit from the compressed mode and perform normal data reception and transmission.
In the above process, generally it is needed to initiate the compressed mode in advance in engineering, that is to say, the initiation threshold of the compressed mode needs to be set to be easily triggered, so that before the terminal drops calls (that is, during the period capable of maintaining the terminal calls) there is enough time to complete the inter-carrier frequency/inter-system measurement. However, in this way, the coverage boundary of cell is reduced, the coverage of cell cannot be utilized effectively, the duration of the compressed mode is relatively long, which damages the system capacity and the user throughput.

SUMMARY

In view of the above, the main purpose of the disclosure is to provide a method and a system for processing a transmission gap pattern sequence, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that long duration of the compressed mode damages the system capacity and the user throughput.

Quickening handover process can improve the reliability of handover, particularly in an area where the quality of radio signal quickly deteriorates, the risk of dropping calls of a user can be reduced by quickening the handover process. Therefore, the later the compressed mode is initiated, the better; the shorter the compressed mode lasts, the better. In this way, both system capacity and user throughput can be improved.
